Everyone who has ever been on Arya Stark's kill list and why

Arya Stark has transformed a lot over the course of six seasons of "Game of Thrones."

At the beginning of the HBO series, she's a spunky high-born girl who wants to learn how to fight with a sword instead of how to make a dress. But some time after witnessing her father's execution, Arya begins a list of the people she wants to kill that she repeats to herself every night.

We've known for a while that Arya would become a full-blown assassin one day, and now we're here.

She's already offed some people on her list, and some have been offed for her (something she's not very enthusiastic about). But now she's back in Westeros, reminding enemies of the Stark name who she is, while she slowly kills them. Some one at a time, and some dozens at a time in one cold open. Who will be next?

Cersei Lannister

Why: She falsely accused Arya's father, Ned Stark, of treason and had him arrested, which led to his execution on King Joffrey's orders.

Status: Alive, and sitting on the Iron Throne. And drinking lots of wine while standing on a giant map of Westeros. She has Zombie Gregor Clegane and her brother Jaime to protect her. But from what we saw on the season seven premiere, Jaime might not be on her side for long. On the season seven premiere, Arya says that she's headed to King's Landing to kill Cersei. And at this point, we totally believe she can pull it off.

Ilyn Payne

Illyn Payne doesn't have a tongue.
HBO

Why: For executing Ned Stark on Joffrey's orders.

Status: Alive. The character hasn't been onscreen since season two and is technically still alive, but the character was written off when the actor Wilko Johnson left the show after being diagnosed with cancer. Though he had a successful tumor removal, the character has never come back, so it's safe to say he's no longer on Arya's list on the show.

3/

Melisandre

Melisandre is looking suspicious.
HBO

Why: For taking Gendry away from the Brotherhood Without Banners.

Status: Alive and really, really old, and exiled from Winterfell by Jon Snow. She's headed south. And the last time we saw Arya, she was in the Riverlands. So it's pretty likely that they'll cross paths. Maybe Arya will forgive her since she brought Jon Snow back to life. But probably not.

4/

Beric Dondarrion

Beric Dondarrion has died at least 6 times.
HBPO

Why: For selling Gendry to Melisandre and releasing The Hound.

Status: Alive, and with The Hound, heading north to take on the White Walkers. Arya could kill him, but he'll probably come right back thanks to his friend Thoros of Myr and the Lord of Light.

5/

Thoros of Myr

Why: For selling Gendry to Melisandre and releasing The Hound, along with fellow Brother Without a Banner Beric Dondarrion.

Status: Alive and with The Hound, except now he has a man bun. In order to kill Beric Dondarrion for good, Arya will have to kill Thoros before he can bring his friend back from the dead (again). She's probably over The Hound thing considering how their storyline ended on season four, but only time will tell.

6/

Polliver

Polliver stole Needle from Arya back in season 2.
HBO

Why: For stealing her sword, Needle, and for killing her friend Lommy.

Status: Dead. With the help of the Hound, Arya stabbed him in the throat with Needle right after she got it back from him at an inn in Westeros.

7/

Joffrey Baratheon

Arya would've been very happy to kill Joffrey herself.

Why: For gleefully ordering the execution of Ned Stark and the execution of her friend Mycah. Also for being a really, really, really horrible person.

Status: Dead. Poisoned by Littlefinger and Olenna Tyrell. The only bad thing about Joffrey's death was that Arya didn't get to do it.

8/

Rorge

Rorge tortured people with rats.
HBO

Why: For torturing people at Harrenhal and threatening to rape her.

Status: Dead. Arya killed him after he attacked her and The Hound.

9/

Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane

The Mountain is just fine, but he's basically a zombie.
hbogo.com

Why: For the torture at Harrenhal and for raiding in the Riverlands.

Status: Zombie. Oberyn Martell killed him, but disgraced and creepy Maester Qyburn brought him back to life as Ser Robert Strong with his experiments.

10/

Tywin Lannister

Tywin died on the toilet.
HBO

Why: He was the mastermind behind the Red Wedding. Walder Frey couldn't have come up with that on his own.

Status: Dead. His own son Tyrion shot him with a crossbow while he was on the toilet. Arya probably doesn't love that she didn't get a chance to off him herself, but killing someone on the toilet has got to be some inspiration for her future assassinations.

11/

Meryn Trant

Meryn Trant is not missed.
HBO

Why: For killing Syrio Forel, Arya's dancing instructor. He was the first person on her list.

Status: Dead. So dead. At a brothel in Braavos, Arya stabbed him in the eyes then slowly stabbed him to death while reminding him who she was.

12/

Walder Frey

Arya slits Walder Frey's throat.
Helen Sloan/HBO

Why: Do we really need to remind you what happened at the Red Wedding?

Status: Dead. Before Arya slit his throat, she fed him a pie she made filled with the meat of his sons Lothar and Black Walder.

13/

Sandor "The Hound" Clegane

The Hound is heading North with the Brotherhood Without Banners.
hbogo.com

Why: For killing Arya's friend Mycah, the butcher's boy, on Joffrey's orders on the Kingsroad back on season one.

Status: Alive and technically no longer on her list. When the Waif grills Arya about her list on the sixth season, Arya says, in third person, that she had left him to die but adds, "He was not on her list anymore. She'd taken him off it."
